Limit Switches 

 

The  mechanical  limit  switches  are  normally  closed  (when  not  activated)  and 
should be connected to a compatible controller that recognizes these settings. 
Failure  to  properly  set up  the  limit  switches in  the controller  will result  in  physical 
damage to the MPA-20 Linear Actuator.  

 

The  mechanical  limit  switches  are  factory  calibrated  for  a  minimum  travel  of 
12mm  (when  the  switches  are  initially  activated).  Customer  adjustment  of  the 
limit  switches  is  not  recommended.  For  custom  travel  lengths,  please  contact 
MICRONIX USA.
